Linking URLs to your Web Application

Your web sites and applications access Dynamic Media services by way of URL calls. After you publish an asset, Dynamic Media activates a URL string that references the asset. You can paste these URLs into a web browser for testing.

You link to URLs only if you are not using AEM as your WCM. Linking (versus embedding) is used when you want to deliver a video player as a pop-up or modal window. If you are using AEM as your WCM, you add the assets directly on your page.

To place these URL strings in your web pages and applications, copy them from Dynamic Media.

註解：

URL strings are only available for dynamic renditions of assets. They are currently not available for static assets that reside in DAM and not the dynamic media server. The URL button does not appear for renditions that are static.

Obtaining a URL for an Asset

You can obtain a URL string that is generated by an Image Preset or a Viewer Preset. After you copy the URL, it lands on the Clipboard so you can paste it as necessary to pages in your website or application.

註解：

The URL is not available to copy until you have published the selected asset. In addition, you must also publish the viewer preset or image preset.

How to deliver secure video

In AEM 6.2, when you install FP-13480, you can control whether a video is delivered over a secure SSL connection (HTTPS) or an insecure connection (HTTP). By default, the video delivery protocol is automatically inherited from the protocol of the embedding web page. If the web page is loaded over HTTPS, the video is also delivered over HTTPS. And vice versa, if the web page is on HTTP, the video is delivered over HTTP. In most cases, this default behavior is fine and there is no need to make any configuration changes. However, you can override this default behavior by appending VideoPlayer.ssl=on to the end of the URL to force secure video delivery.

For more information about secure video delivery and using the VideoPlayer.ssl configuration attribute in your URL path, see Secure Video Delivery in the Viewers Reference Guide. Secure video delivery is available for the Video viewer, Mixed Media viewer, and Interactive Video viewer.

註解：

You must install FP-13480 on both AEM Author and AEM Publish instances. Doing so ensures that you are using the latest Mixed Media, Video, and Interactive Video Viewers for use with secure video delivery.
